The daily drop cap

by Kaye on October 12, 2009

Just when it seems that digital typography has settled into a sort of humdrum routine rooted in technical limitations, along comes the ‘daily drop cap‘ by Jessica Hische. You can embed them in your blog (witness the J at left) and use them for all sorts of non-commercial uses.  Although I was initially drawn into her work by the drop caps (no small feat to pull those off successfully) I realized that she’s something of a ‘triple-threat’ in that she’s a designer, typographer and illustrator – all of which she combines extremely well. She’s designed some absolutely lovely book interiors and in addition, her illustration work is absolutely stunning.
